Excellent place to stay!
Everything was excellent except for the bed. The bed was really soft and I felt like I sank into it making it hard to move once laying on it. Otherwise they are fantastic. Jim and Jill cook breakfast for everyone and cook your eggs to your liking. Scrambled eggs are EGGcelent! Peaceful sanctuary by the pond is great too. Loved the property and the inn. My first Bed and Breakfast experience and the only negative was the bed but I still slept.

Our stay at the Lil Black Bear Inn was cozy, charming and exceptional. The Petunia room was immaculately clean and nicely decorated. We had a balcony to enjoy! The breakfast was delicious, generous, and creative. We especially enjoyed the scrambled eggs 😊 The host was friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would recommend the Lil Black Bear Inn.
